Their communication style throughout the planning process was easygoing, fast response, knowledgeable and helpful. They responded to all our questions promptly and really helped guide us through the details. The venue itself was clean, modern and had a classic elegance that perfectly suited our wedding vision. The staff was professional, caring and facilitated great flow and a welcoming atmosphere on our big day.

Heritage Park and Clarke estate are two hidden gem venues I love telling future clients about along with friends and family. Working there as a preferred vendor for nearly 5 years now has been a great experience as a vendor and for my clients as well. Working together with a venue to ensure the couples day is going well without a hitch is very important and let me tell you Leanne and her staff consistently work together and hard to make sure of that. Not only are both venues historic they're also affordable. That is a perfect combination for a venue Especially when people need to accommodate large guests 200-300 guests. Highly recommend both venues I do work more at heritage Park since their guest capacity is 300 but I always look forward to working with Leanne. Always a great experience.

After a number of visits to potential wedding venues that just didn't feel right, my wife and I felt like a miracle had happened when we found Seventh Place. Seventh Place is a venue where you can truly execute your own vision, whatever it may be, while the space still brings a quality and characteristic that feels so unique to wedding venues. Having moved to Los Angeles from New York City, my wife and I were hoping to bring a bit of that Brooklyn energy to our wedding day, and the lovely brick interior and beautiful courtyard here absolutely helped deliver that. The space (and staff) was so flexible that it was easy to achieve exactly what we imagined for the big day, and our point person Lorraine was extremely helpful and communicative in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. The interior is beautiful, with enough space for us to host 150 guests at large family-style tables (the wooden tables Seventh Place has are very very nice), and still have more than enough room for dancing and a cozy and comfy lounge area. Besides being the perfect setting for our ceremony, we hosted the dessert table and some more seating and cocktail tables outside in the courtyard, which has a lot of greenery all around and plenty of shade, making it easy to forget you are in DTLA. The hedge wall outside on the street also served as a great backdrop for our family photos (we put down some turf on the street). We are both so thrilled with how our wedding turned out, and the setting was a major factor in the success of the day. Seventh Place was an exceptional (and very well-priced!) venue with a wonderful team who made the process very easy for us. They also host a great preferred vendor open house which was a big help in wrapping our heads around the wedding planning process, and seeing the space in action! We can happily and confidently recommend Seventh Place as a venue for your big events!

A Los Angeles Icon from 1939, Union Station offers unique spaces to host your corporate/social events, weddings, and more. This iconic Los Angeles landmark is a vibrant symbol of downtown’s renaissance. A dynamic destination for the arts, entertainment and culture, forging a vital new connection to the community, Union Station is more than a bustling transportation hub in the heart of the city. It's a true cultural hub connecting the infinitely varied and wonderful elements of one of the world’s great cities... a gateway to the best of Los Angeles.

  • Historic touches
  • Classic elegance
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
When we first saw Union Station listed on here, we actually thought it was a scam post but as it turns out - YES you can actually get married in Union Station, with several different venue options costing varying amounts. We chose the Fred Harvey room for our wedding, which was easily the most complimented part of our day. It's such an amazing, historic space, and all the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Now the cons: there are a few required inclusions (security team, valet service, fire marshal checks) that you have to acquire through them - and those costs add up quickly from the price of the actual space rental. The valet company in particular was an insanely high initial quote, but fortunately they did negotiate a drop. Because it's not a dedicated wedding venue, they also don't provide any guidance with vendors (which means you bring everything in yourself), and because it's a protected space, there are a lot of regulations on what can and can't be done (as of Summer 2025, you basically can't use the kitchen for any actual cooking). Even with the drawbacks, we'd probably still do it all over again. It was an exceptionally cool, beautiful experience, and it turned out some AMAZING photos, just make sure you ask a lot of questions up front!

Millwick was such a dream venue for us — we loved look and feel, the location, the courtyard bar and the bridal suite (non-negotiable for getting ready and taking a few minutes to ourselves among the chaos). The folks at Marvimon were so on top of everything and easy to work with. They checked in with us every step of the way, answered our questions, filled in the blanks where we needed, and provided us an amazing list of vendor recommendations that added up to a perfect night. And all our guests were comfortable (even in 90-degree weather) because of the venue's inside/outside capabilities. We couldn't have asked for better. (Photos by Simply Best Photography)

Chevy Chase Country Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was thorough, concise, and prompt, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is truly elegant, with a rustic, country club charm that felt upscale yet still captured the relaxed, Californian vibe we were going for. I grew up just down the street from Chevy Chase, so it was a dream come true to get married under the shade of the giant oak tree, covered in twinkling lights. The all-inclusive package covering the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was the best decision, as everything flowed seamlessly. We are so grateful to the Chevy Chase team for making our special day unforgettable.

Our experience with The Stonehurst was fantastic from start to finish. The communication with Nancy, the owner, was seamless and she was so accommodating throughout the planning process. The venue itself is stunning, with different unique spaces to work with that really allowed us to customize our wedding exactly how we wanted. Nancy was so friendly and helpful. Since we got married in October 2021, they've done some additional work to make the space even more beautiful.
